I have been added on tonight all 4 deaths. Since keeping track of my deaths last year I have been killed by 2 or more people in 385 out of 389 deaths.


It simply is a joke and there should be a penalty for adding fights.


Also, why do archers have so many tools to escape when they are usually grouped 5 or more deep?


They should have some or all of those tools taken away.


It makes no sense whatsoever.


There should also be an RP loss when you add a fight on a solo. I know this would lead to most stealthers having negative career RPs, but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Because the solo game is what it's all about.

This is an RvR game not 1 on 1 dueling. If it is red it is dead.


There are 1 on 1 dueling games out there if that is what you want. Also, you can set up duals on Pendragon all you want, if dueling is what you have fun doing.


I always felt that they should have created a dueling arena so that people would stop complaining every time the RvR frontier actually had RvR happening.

Mythic decided to abandon the soloist by extending the lengths of fights so much that adding is inevitable. They also decided to use the "red is dead" b.s. on the load screens. The also tried to work the zerg mentality into Warhammer, if you watched some of the Warhammer videos preceding its launch. In summary, Mythic probably shouldn't be running an MMO, but what ya gonna do?

I seriously think someone has hacked your account. Rangers have to have tools to escape because they SUCK, their dmg sucks, their melee sucks, any and every toon out there can interrupt and CC rangers arses into oblivion. So what do we do, we slap you and then run away because thats all we got.....

If this idea/thread was my unborn child, I'd abort it. If it was my 5 year old child, it'd let it play in traffic. If this was my teenage child, I'd hit it with a shovel.
Soloing isn't the point of this game; although I hate grouped sneaks... I don't often solo anymore, so it's all free RPs to meh!

There should be a penalty to people who come up with ideas like this: Insta ban from DAoC.

I believe what you're looking for in a game is a sandbox (Darkfall, UO, AC, etc).

DAOC is clearly a theme park RVR MMO.
